Well, it looks like the Sheets thing is over.

Embarrassing.

With the way the luck has been this year, someone else will go down when Robert and Jimenez return. Probably a starter or two.

They're really lucky the Twins pitching took a shit this year.

I'm not sure that they can really do anything to make them be competitive in the AL playoffs. They don't have the horses.

Of course.

idk why they insist on trying to make him catch. Dude sucks, just cut your losses and get a real backup next year.

Awe geez

no.

I don't want to sound like a negative nancy but they're not competitive with the cream of the AL right now. We'll see if they are when the injured players return but idk.

When was the last time the Sox played a team over .500?

WTF????

Bumslayers, the lot of 'em.

Holy shit that slider from McCullers

He's always had great stuff, it's the command that has been impeccable tonight so far.

That was an overhanded yellowhammer

Because I think adding a bat will be cost prohibitive. I'm not trading Vaughn/Kopech/Crochet/Madrigal for a half year fix. If they can get Escobar for a fair price, fine. They should be showcasing Burger for a deal though. If that means DHing Moncada a few times a week temporarily, fine.

The only reason to move Moncada to 2B is if it's impossible to add a bat via trade.

If only they could replace Ortiz's head with Ozzie's

Not every deal discussed comes to fruition. That's the thing about rumor sites/posters. If ~30% of what he talks about actually happens then he may be legit.

And he will keep neither and continue to make Adam Eaton type signings.

The Eovaldi deal is Rodon's floor imo. He's better this year than Eovaldi ever has been. BTW I don't expect the Sox budget to ever exceed $140M, even during their window.

Correct. I think they underestimated Lynn's deal and overestimated Rodon's deal. Switch them and it's closer to accurate. Even Lynn at 20M is probably underpaying his market value. I expect him to get 22.5M+ on a 2-3 year deal. Rodon at $15M is probably underpaid too. I expect him to get $17-18M on a 4 year deal.
